Chapter XVII
The red-eyed Zhao Zhong had no intention of stopping at all.
He hated that he had not been able to save his brother.
also hated Ah Biao, who had a chance to save his brother, but chose to give up at the last moment.
also hated Chen Jing, who had the ability to fight against the demon vine but chose to let the tiger return to the mountain.
Fear and remorse tormented him, and he convinced himself countless times that he was not wrong, and that it was someone else who was wrong.
If they hadn't lost contact, if Chen Jing had stayed near the waterhole, his brother wouldn't have died.
Therefore, it was Chen Jing who killed his brother.
Because only by thinking like this can he forgive himself.
"If you hadn't walked around and stayed with us, my brother wouldn't have died!"
"The Immortal Chief can also rush to rescue us at any time like the last ghost!"
"That's right! I think about it. Zhao Zhong's hysterical voice was cathartic.
"It's all because of you!"
"Why didn't you take action when the ghost attacked in the first place?"
"If you make a move, Ah Biao won't get hurt!"
"If Ah Biao is not injured, my brother will not die!"
"It's all your fault!!"
Chen Jing had a cold face, heard the end from the beginning, and did not speak out to defend himself.
On the other side, Ah Biao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Young Master Yuan.
Because although Young Master Yuan lamented Chen Jing's strength, he was also complaining that Chen Jing did not return overnight, which caused the immortal chief to delay his rescue.
He even felt that what Zhao Zhong said was right.
"Why don't you defend yourself?" Ming Chen asked curiously.
Chen Jing responded indifferently: "There's no need. ”
It's really unnecessary, Ming Chen understood it after thinking about it.
If it weren't for the mirror's warning, the two of them would probably not have returned to the waterhole.
And Chen Jing is not good at defending himself, and at the same time he doesn't want to defend himself, the mountains here are towering, there are many dangers, and the people who are destined to leave are already a blessing to save them once.
"Having said that, if you save someone, you should be respected and appreciated; You can do without, but the person you save can't withdraw. ”
After speaking, Ming Chen began to look at Zhao Zhong while organizing the language.
"I am doing what I do, why do I need to explain." Chen Jing said lightly.
Of course, Ming Chen knew his thoughts, that is, to show that he was not a person all the way, what did Fei do with that lip and tongue?
But he also had his own thoughts, so he explained: "Brother Chen, aside from talking about it before, if you want to walk with him in the future, you have to show your value, just wait and see." ”
This time, knowing the reason why Ming Chen did this, he no longer stopped it.
Zhao Zhong on the side was even more angry, I have been counting you here for so long, and you actually turned a blind eye and ignored it, looking like a clown.
Immediately turned the gun head: "And you, Mingchen!" ”
"I didn't expect you to be such a selfish person, hiding and eating meat, but you didn't take care of everyone at all, and we were still eating wild fruits to satisfy our hunger."
"Maybe it's because of your selfish behavior that the Immortal Elder intends to punish us, and he hasn't shown up until now."
Thinking of the Immortal Chief, Zhao Zhong's confidence hardened a lot.
"And it was you who proposed to let go of the demon vine, the demon vine killed my brother, Chen Jing and Ah Biao, as long as they delay for a while, they can kill it when the immortal chief arrives!"
"I knew that you were such a person, I shouldn't have looked at you pitifully and let you join the team of the Immortal Chief!"
Ming Chen didn't expect that Zhao Zhong's eloquence was okay, he was obviously blinded by anger, and it was not easy to be logical.
"Brother Zhao, calling you Brother Zhao is your advantage in age, but it is not a reason for you to slander others at will."
Ming Chen didn't give him a chance to speak.
"The basis of teaching others to be a man is to learn to be a man first, and the most basic thing to be a man is to learn to be grateful."
"Brother Chen, even if he is not, it is an ironclad fact that he saved you."
"You can't save your whole family because he saved you, otherwise it won't be considered saving you, this is robber logic."
"Take 10,000 steps back, you can have no bottom line of being a human being, don't be your savior, but you can't be your brother-killing enemy."
Zhao Zhong sneered and shouted, "If you didn't return overnight, you need him to save me?" ”
"Tsk! I didn't expect you to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you can quite reverse right and wrong. Ming Chen burst out laughing.
"If, we have been here, the demon vine is coming, Brother Chen is faced with the choice of whether to make a move or not, if he makes a move, you will take it for granted, if he doesn't make a move, he will become the culprit."
"But why do they have to save you?"
Zhao Zhong responded excitedly: "Aren't we partners in tribulation together? Isn't it natural for the strong to protect the mentally weak? Why didn't he save us? If he doesn't save us, won't we die? ”
A series of rhetorical questions are like a series of cannons, and they are really justified and strong.
Ming Chen rolled his eyes when he heard this: "First of all, we are strangers on the same road, so the relationship is not as deep as you think, otherwise you can ask yourself, have you said even three words to Brother Chen along the way?" ”
"Nodding friends don't count, why let people sacrifice their lives to save them?"
"Secondly, there is no law that says that the strong must protect the mentally weak, and the reason why we do this is out of self-moral restraint, and morality is always to restrain ourselves, not to kidnap others."
"Moreover, I am weak and I am justified is the saddest thing, shouldn't we think about how to make ourselves strong?"
"Don't always say that there is no way, someone once said, don't lose hope, or the Illuminati will not find you."
"In the end, the one who always puts his hope in others will always be the weakling."
"You.... You ......"
Zhao Zhong was trembling with anger, but he was powerless to refute, so he could only point at Ming Chen angrily.
However, Ming Chen didn't want to let him go so simply.
"Zhao Zhong, why don't you blame Ah Biao for his poor protection?"
"Why don't you blame the Immortal Elder for not coming?"
"Why don't you blame the demon vine for being fierce and cruel?"
After asking three times, Zhao Zhong's face turned pale, and Ming Chen chose to help him answer: "Because you don't dare!" ”
"Ah Biao is Young Master Yuan's person, and his status makes you dare not."
"The immortal chief is even more powerful, and it's too late to stammer, where can he dare to say the slightest bad thing."
"The demon vine is cruel, you don't dare even more, you don't even dare to look at it directly, let alone have the courage to ask."
"Then why do you dare to speak disrespectfully to Brother Chen, who can compete with the Demon Vine?"
"Hmph, you know his character of not arguing with others, and he has no background, so he can be considered a good person."
"So you vented your incompetence, your fear of the demon vine, and your anger at losing your brother to Brother Chen, so that your heart will feel better."
Ming Chen unceremoniously ripped off Zhao Zhong's last fig leaf and took a photo to commemorate it.
It's like uncovering an old wound and sprinkling a handful of salt.
Regarding Zhao Zhong's behavior of bullying honest people, he didn't spare his hand at all.
"Nope! Not really!! ”
Zhao Zhong's eyes were red, and he roared like a beast.
Then he rushed to the waterhole without looking back, and just when Mingchen thought that he would commit suicide by throwing himself into the pool in shame, he stopped at the water's edge, knelt directly on the ground, and wept bitterly.
But he didn't feel that he was too much at all, and he didn't have a shameless consciousness, how could he be a troll?
Don't get me wrong, it's Zhao Zhong here.
As far as Ming Chen's many years of experience in playing with keyboard warriors, Zhao Zhong can only be regarded as a novice.
"Actually, you don't have to." Chen Jing walked to Ming Chen's side and said softly.
Ming Chen said seriously: "This is my value, I can help you when you don't want to open your mouth, of course, it's not enough." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to his head, "I can still lead you to Qingshan City in the shortest time." ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Jing was a little puzzled.
"I've got a picture here."
Ming Chen explained, "Do you remember that I saw Young Master Yuan's map? ”
"But you just took a look!"
"One glance is enough!" Ming Chen smiled confidently.
Chen Jing suddenly thought of something, and asked, "So you wrote it down?" ”
"That's right, it's all written down."
Ming Chen nodded calmly, he didn't hide it, he also knew that what Chen Jing asked was not referring to the map, but to the exercises he asked.
I also want to see Chen Jing's reaction, honesty can gain trust.
If you can trust each other before your peers, that's the perfect start.
"I didn't expect you to have this hand." Chen Jing didn't mean to blame at all, but showed an appreciative gaze.
There was still a hint of envy in his eyes.
Ming Chen saw his attitude, and he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was not that he had to go with Chen Jing, but that he wanted to obtain information about Chen Jing's cultivation.
This allows him to supplement the lack of information.
The importance of this information should not be underestimated, and sometimes there is a huge treasure hidden in the inconspicuous information.
The two had a successful collaboration and a foundation for building trust, and in order to be able to maintain equal treatment in the next collaboration, he had to show his worth.
At the same time, why not further deepen that trust?
"Can you read it?" Chen Jing was a little skeptical.
"Of course!"
Ming Chen replied affirmatively.
"I've had a good sense of direction since I was a child, and you may not believe it, but I have a sixth sense and can occasionally sense approaching danger."
Although some of the hole cards were revealed, there were reservations.
Doing so can increase one's own weight and gain the right to dialogue on an equal footing.
Chen Jingchu didn't believe it when he heard about it.
But after thinking about it, maybe this was the reason why he was able to survive in the mountains alone, maybe this was the reason why he was unwilling to take the Blood Strengthening Pill in the first place, maybe this was the reason why he went there before the Ghost Ray attacked, maybe this was the reason why he suspected that there was something wrong with the Immortal Elder.
Thinking of this, there is basically no doubt, but there are new problems.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Show enough value to be recognized by you, and you, as the strongest person here, are also related to whether I can walk with you." Mingchen is outspoken and sincere.
And emphasize peers, peers are different from the same road, and peers here mean walking side by side.
Walking together is walking together, and walking together is walking with you.
The two get along very differently, and we are friends when we promise to go together; Choosing the same path, Mingchen became attached to him, and it was a relationship between the top and bottom.
"Good!"
Chen Jing did not hesitate and agreed directly.
"Wait a minute!"
